Question RADAR DETECTOR?

Needing advice on a radar detector. My biggest concern is location & wiring. Anyone with advice or photos, please reply.

+1 on Radar Roy - good source of info. I went with a Escort 9500ci simply since I didn't want to have a detector on my dash that I would have to remove every time I parked and left the top down.

that red one
Valentine 1 is the best & most reliable one on the market today IMO. Depending on what state you are in you can mount it on your windshield, lower right hand corner for best visability.

Can anyone recommend one that is kind of like the Beltronics STi-Remote I really want to hide one, but cannot afford over 500 for one. Also thanks for the site kchristos

Jon - pop over to RadarRoy's site - the 9500ci is like the STi-Remote, but obviously in the same price range. I don't know of any concealed mount under $500, but that does not mean there is not one...
